Overview
- Charlie Woods, who shot a 5-over 76 at Ohio State University's Scarlet Course on Wednesday, finished well outside the top 13 and did not advance to the 2026 U.S. Amateur.
- His round included a double bogey on the par-5 sixth hole and finished with six bogeys and three birdies, a performance that pushed his front-nine to 40 and totaled 76.
- The Columbus site was one of 19 final qualifying venues where 18 holes of stroke play determined advancement, and the top 13 (plus two alternates) earned spots at the U.S. Amateur at Merion from Aug. 10–16.
- Woods is a 17-year-old rising senior committed to Florida State and ranked No. 174 on the AJGA, and his season has mixed results including a June playoff win to reach the U.S. Junior Amateur.
- With the U.S. Junior Amateur at Saucon Valley beginning July 20, Woods has an immediate chance to rebound and further show whether his recent inconsistency can be corrected before the U.S. Amateur field is set.
